I've installed this script numerous times on a Win 2016 and 2019 g4dn instance in AWS Sydney region. Each time the script completes successfully, however after logging into GeForce Experience, GameStream is still not available. Steps take:

  1. Launch instance with full network access to my home IP
  2. Once launched, turn off Windows Firewall
  3. Install Firefox
  4. Install TightVNC Server
  5. Login via VNC and launch this script in PowerShell admin
  6. Yes to everything (Audio, GRID (which now works automatically after issue 4 resolve))
  7. Allow reboots when requested
  8. Relaunch script in Admin PowerShell via VNC after any reboot
  9. Open GeForce Experience 3.13.0.85 and login via email
  10. Navigate to Settings - No features are available, with the error on GameStream being that I don't meet the Desktop GPU requirement

While the script works well, and I've been using it to prep instances for use with Parsec, I CANNOT get GameStream to work on a g4dn instance with T4 GPU using this script.

Am I missing something, or is this an issue and is g4dn not actually supported?

Thanks :)

So I think I know what the issue is here, but just to confirm, on step 8 you meant running the shortcut created on the desktop, right? Anyway, since I doubt this is the issue, I looked up TightVNC and found out it's using Windows' mirror driver to render the desktop. This is a problem since GameStream only activates if there is a monitor attached to the NVIDIA GPU and this mirror driver creates a fake monitor in RAM that won't work. Using other solutions that use GDI or desktop capturing API such as AnyDesk or TeamViewer will probably fix your issue.

Hi,

I can confirm it works fine with g4dn on AWS. I skipped the installation of vcable and update the GPU driver though. I already have Parsec installed so sound is ok and I'm using the NVIDIA Gaming image (and didn't want to mess with the shipped driver).

I think you can close this issue.

@amaumene Thank you for the confirmation. I can't really attest to it working or not myself since I don't have a way to test AWS machines so I will leave the issue open just in case.

@amaumene Could you confirm the steps you are following? I tried using this on both the NVIDIA AWS Gaming Image win19 server and the base win 19 server. I'm unable to get the gamestream to show up as active.

Thanks for trying to solve our issue.

I confirm the GameStream service isn't started after the installation. I'm using NVIDIA AWS Gaming Image with g4dn.
I have tried with anydesk, vnc, rdp and even via steam (streaming wordpad and then reaching the desktop to run the installation script again).
Also I have used jamesstringerparsec's GPU update script as it was suggested by the script.

I have tried running nvstreamer.exe with the following command found in another issue here:
start /B "" /D "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvContainer" "C:\Program Files\NVIDIA Corporation\NvStreamSrv\nvstreamer.exe"

Here are the results. It seems to start and stays opened. I can see the nvstreamer.exe process running. Still the GameStream service is not running and moonlight host tester and GFE say that GameStream is off:

It appears there are no errors with GFE. Can you check Windows' "Advanced display settings" and see if there is a monitor with the GPU attached? And if there is, are you sure you are running GFE on that monitor?

It's very strange that it's not working for you at this point. Do you have an audio interface installed? Can you manually start the NvContainerLocalSystem service? If so, the last thing I can think of is to re-run step 2 from the Steps folder and rebooting the VM.

This service was already running. I have stopped it and started it again. Here is what I currently have

I have relaunched step 2 successfully and rebooted. I logged in via anydesk and ran Moonlight Internet Streaming Tester which said that GameStream is Off. Here are the logs.

Thanks again for your help.
